<div>TTPs are the agreed upon best practices of the Republic's military. [[Standard Operating Procedures]] or SOPs, are the established and directed methods of conducting operations, but TTPs are those best practices that are developed through experience, experimentation, or the combination of the two. TTPs are outlined options for soldiers to exercise in combat, but are not required like SOPs.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/Command_and_ControlCommand and Control2021-06-21T09:21:15Z<p>Brando: Created page with "Command and Control or C2 is a military concept that can describe the personnel, process, procedures, equipment, systems, or other elements involved in the deliberate applicat..."</p>
<hr />
<div>Command and Control or C2 is a military concept that can describe the personnel, process, procedures, equipment, systems, or other elements involved in the deliberate application of force against an enemy.<br />
<br />
Command is based on authorities, expectations, responsibilities, and scope that these concepts present. Command is also driven by and responds to intent. A Commander's Intent establishes clear, concise, and consistent communication to provide the goals, objectives, and both explicit and implied tasks for planning and execution in the form of verbal or written orders both pre-planned and real time.<br />
<br />
Control is the exercise of Command authorities and is the means through which orders are carried out, either pre-planned or real time. Control is either proactive or reactive depending upon circumstances in the field. It is either pre-planned and rigid or fluid and dynamic; it is either centralized or decentralized depending upon the situation and the [[Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures]] or TTPs of the Military. Further refinement can also be found in the [[Operations Orders]] or OPORDERS issues by the Command Authority of the Republic.<br />
<br />
The goal of C2 is to establish a system to get ahead of the enemy's decision making process, whether that is described by the OODA Loop or other military concepts.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/TACONTACON2021-06-21T09:15:00Z<p>Brando: Created page with "TACON or Tactical Control is the lowest level of command authority in the Republic's Military Structure.

<hr />
<div>TACON or Tactical Control is the lowest level of command authority in the Republic's [[Military Structure]]. TACON is sometimes referred to as "Siege Calling" or "Raid Calling" as a whole and is where the individual direction of forces lives. For the Republic this typically resides as the [[Company]] level, however, subordinate command can happen within [[Line]]s and [[Lance]]s when TACON is broken down further. TACON is thought of as the "trigger pulling" where forces maneuver on the individual level in combat. The standard opening to a fight is to engage as a whole Company and communicate internally as targets, threats, and vulnerabilities are observed. In the event that Lines or Lances are broken out, then TACON resides with the leader at that echelon. The Company Commander may still issue orders to the whole group in a direct manner, so that authority and control still exists even though smaller teams may be operating independently.<br />
<br />
By understanding TACON vs [[OPCON]], a Commander and their staff can ascertain the appropriate level of detail involved in planning and execution. Both of these concepts are critical elements of [[Command and Control]].</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/Scheme_of_ManeuverScheme of Maneuver2021-06-21T09:09:27Z<p>Brando: Created page with "The SOM or Scheme of Maneuver is the Battle Plan for fielded forces.

<div>The SOM or Scheme of Maneuver is the Battle Plan for fielded forces. It highlights objectives, timelines, forces, and other considerations using Time, Space, and Purpose or simplified to Task and Purpose.<br />

<hr />
<div>OPCON or Operational Control is the authority to give orders for regional or local employment of a military unit. Command staff and [[Battalion]] or [[Company]] Commanders generally function within OPCON passing [[TACON]] down to lower echelons for the hands on or "trigger pulling" action in the field. Company Commanders generally live between OPCON and TACON ensuring that orders are physically carried out in the field.<br />
<br />
Generally OPCON and [[ADCON]] authorities belong to the same Command Staff. It is important to separate the two because ADCON functions without the added fog and friction of a deployed field environment. It is also critical to understand ADCON and OPCON differences because one community can pass along OPCON without losing ADCON authorities. In creating and overseeing alliances and cooperative campaigns, the separation between ADCON, OPCON, and TACON assuages the tension and anxieties present in wanting to maintain individual identities and overall presence to avoid the appearance of or the actual occurrence of "poaching" members.<br />
<br />
Commanders are directed to put ADCON, OPCON, and TACON concepts into practice in order to clearly, concisely, and completely communicate the [[Scheme of Maneuver]] and expectations throughout the command structure internally and externally with allies and friends.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/ADCONADCON2021-06-21T09:00:20Z<p>Brando: Created page with "ADCON or Administrative Control is the authority to organize, train, equip, and develop a military unit for strategic, operational, or tactical employment within the Republic'..."</p>

<div>Cohorts are archetypes common to most class systems or grouping of like skills, for example, Heavy Infantry versus Archers versus Cavalry. In the Republic's [[Military Structure]], Cohort Sergeants are considered part of the Staff system acting as special Staff Sergeants to assist in training, organizing, and developing weapons and tactics for use by the Republic.<br />
<br />
Cohorts may conduct specialized and specific training, but do not generally exercise any significant command authority as a Cohort. Specialized units like Combat Engineers may employ Cohort Sergeants in command roles due to their highly specific and demanding requirements to best employ them.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/2.00_%E2%80%93_DIRECTION_ON_CITIZENSHIP2.00 – DIRECTION ON CITIZENSHIP2020-07-13T05:07:39Z<p>Brando: /* Immigration Process */</p>

= Citizenship Program =<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
The path to citizenship should always be straightforward and clear. Arbitrary requirements should not be placed on anyone seeking full membership within the Republic. To this end there needs to be simple requirements that are applied to every new person wishing to join our ranks. Basic understanding of the Republic is a minimum requirement with other programs, offices, and agencies requiring further training. The requirements towards citizenship should also consist of a minimal baseline of activity while still making it clear that staying active is a must in order to achieve full membership. Adherence to the laws and code of conduct, plus game terms of service should always be at the forefront of any educational program.<br />
<br />
== Immigration Process ==<br />
<br />
Users from any source need to be directed towards joining the SSR Discord Server. This will initiate the automated immigration system.<br />
<br />
=== Register on Discord and Website ===<br />
<br />
All registered users have access to use the automated Immigration system using the Discord Bot. Each interested user starts by joining the Discord server, which will then prompt a private message from our [[Discord Bot]]. Once the Bot has sent a PM, the user will respond with whether or not they are interested in registering for the community. If at any time an individual declines, but wishes to change their mind they may use !register in a public channel to drive the Discord Bot PM again.<br />
<br />
The Discord Bot will redirect the users to the website and autofill some of the entry fields using their Discord Account information. This ensures standardization of information between accounts.<br />
<br />
=== Approval of Immigration ===<br />
<br />
Users can be approved through the website. The proper method is to add the Immigrant Role and leave the Pending Role alone. The [[Discord Bot]] will automatically promote them when it sees a user with both Immigrant and Pending Role flags in the database. We're exploring using this to promote direct to other roles, but for now it only works with Immigrant rank. <br />
<br />
=== Promoting to Citizen ===<br />
<br />
The automated Immigration system allows for us to use the awards system to handle promotion to citizen. Nominate the user for the Letter of Citizenship award and once approved they will receive a promotion to Contadino.<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting the Process ===<br />
<br />
If there are any problems along the way make sure you notify Bernardo so bugs can be tracked then resolved.<br />
<br />
== Training Materials ==<br />
<br />
From time to time the Republic implements an actual testing system. This can be combined with video tutorials. The Codex here should be used as the official source of record for any content or information for testing purposes. Any discrepancies in information should be referred to the appropriate Ministry for clarification.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/MilitaryGamers.comMilitaryGamers.com2020-06-08T15:48:28Z<p>Brando: Created page with "MilitaryGamers.com is the premier community for current and former US Military members.

<div>MilitaryGamers.com is the premier community for current and former US Military members. It is the only community of its kind with the total number on its roster consisting of over 99% military members. The minor less than 1% are dependents, foreign military, and limited referrals from military members. Other communities claim to be established for the benefit of US military, but they allow significant numbers of civilians watering down the roster of active and veteran memberships. <br />
<br />
MG as it is known, cooperates and coordinates with other communities, but does not compromise on its membership roster. Silver Sun Republic serves as an affiliated community having shared resources, alliances, and tags for MG members when activity is limited in a game.<br />
<br />
MG can be found at https://www.militarygamers.com.

<div>The city of Gulghat served as the capital city for the Silver Sun Republic's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkfall Darkfall Online] EU-1 campaign. It was situation along the eastern coast of the main continent and proved to be relatively easy to defend against sieges with its low laying terrain hindering enemy elevated positions. The simple outer curtain wall and inner keep defenses made consolidating forces a simple tactic.<br />
<br />
As the Republic grew it expanded to include several other cities along the eastern coastline with Gulghat continuing to serve as an economic and political hub. Eventually it would be lost after several sieges bringing bittersweet glory to the Republic with its defenders being immortalized as the [[Griffons of Gulghat]].</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/TiquiyaTiquiya2020-06-08T15:37:23Z<p>Brando: Created page with "Tiquiya served as a strategic stronghold for adversary forces leading onto the continent of Yssam during the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkfall Darkfall Online] EU-1..."</p>
<hr />
<div>Tiquiya served as a strategic stronghold for adversary forces leading onto the continent of [[Yssam]] during the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkfall Darkfall Online] EU-1 campaign. It was an island mountain with a fortress carved out on the inside. Approaches to the internal holdings were covered by walled sections. Two main approaches allowed for split forces to assault both access points simultaneous, one from the sea and one from the continent of [[Yssam]] itself.<br />
<br />
Seizing the island fortress allowed for Hyperion forces to threaten the main land from multiple avenues of approach and secure [[Kingdom of Hyperion|Hyperion]] shipping along the main continents northern and eastern coastlines.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/Griffons_of_GulghatGriffons of Gulghat2020-06-08T15:31:29Z<p>Brando: </p>
<hr />
<div>During the first campaign in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkfall Darkfall Online] the Republic held the city of [[Gulghat]] as its central capital. Following the campaigns in [[Yssam]] the tides of war turned against the [[Kingdom of Hyperion]] with the whole of the server rising against it following disinformation and propaganda campaigns. The counter alliance to Hyperion eventually pushed the Kingdom off of the main continent save for the Republic in [[Gulghat]]. The Republic held out with a minimal garrison for multiple sieges against the hordes of assailants. Bolstered by remnants of several allied forces, the defenders pushed back against massive odds. Those who defended the city were named the Griffons of Gulghat, for which the second highest martial [[awards|award]] for individual achievement is named.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/YssamYssam2020-06-08T15:19:38Z<p>Brando: </p>
<hr />
<div>Yssam is the northeastern most jungle continent in the game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkfall Darkfall Online]. During the original EU-1 campaign, the Republic led the charge planning and overseeing the [[Kingdom of Hyperion]]'s effort to seize the continent. The initial campaign was driven by the effort to assist allies located there in their own defense against outside aggressors. <br />
<br />
The Assault against [[Tiquiya]] was one of the initial notable sieges in which each major Shire of the Kingdom was sent in waves with staging for reserves to break the defenders. Once the area was secured, each subsequent wave was used to form blocking positions against enemy reinforcements.<br />
<br />
The second half of the campaign was noted by multiple sieges targeting enemy strongholds. Culminating in an aggressive assault against an objective buried deep in a cavern, formations of each shire were placed in a square and marched outwards against the walls trapping the enemy troops. The end result was a complete routing of enemy forces and a permanent foothold for Hyperion forces on the island.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/Game_BranchesGame Branches2020-05-30T06:55:09Z<p>Brando: Created page with "The Republic typically focuses on a main or flagship game as it is referred to with additional branches known as Colonies.

<div>The Republic typically focuses on a main or flagship game as it is referred to with additional branches known as [[Colony|Colonies]]. Each [[Colony]] is led by a branch leader titled as [[Governor]] if it is a fully community supported game that requires any degree of organization. Small one off games or session based multiplayer may not garner this level of support, but might be recognized through scheduled game nights on the [[Official Calendar]]. In the past, SSR has supported its own servers with custom mods like [[ARMA III]] or [[Life is Feudal: Your Own]].<br />

<hr />
<div>= Discord Bots =<br />
<br />
The Republic utilizes bots on [[Discord]] to automate processes and systems enhancing the overall capability and features of the community. Each bot has a different set of commands, some of which are reserved for admins, but others that are accessible to all members.<br />
<br />
= Minstrel Bot Commands =<br />
<br />
The Minstrel Bot uses Spotify, YouTube, and Soundcloud to search for songs. The best way to get exactly what song you want is to search YouTube and find a specific video title. Using that title will match the bot up with that specific video to stream the audio through itself.<br />
<br />
== Basic Minstrel Bot Commands ==<br />
<br />
All commands use the $ prefix to differentiate them from other command systems<br />
<br />
$play (Title or description of song you want to play) - adds song to the playlist<br />
<br />
$skip - adds a vote to skip to the next song in the queue<br />
<br />

<br />
$clear - Clears the queue.<br />
<br />
$pause - Pauses the current media.<br />
<br />
$resume - Resumes the current media<br />
<br />
$volume [number] - Sets the volume of the bot for everyone. Should be a number between 1 and 100. Can be relative (e.g +10 to add 10 to current volume). If no parameter is given, it will display the current volume.<br />
<br />
== Other Minstrel Bot Commands ==<br />
<br />
$summon - moves the bot to your current voice channel<br />
<br />
$search [service] [#] <query> - Searches a specific service (default: YT) for a query and returns the first few results (default: 3, limit: 10). The user can then select from the results if they want to add any to the queue.<br />
<br />
$restart - restarts the bot<br />
<br />

== House Medici -- Medicossi ==<br />
<br />
'''Name:''' Medici<br />
<br />
'''Symbol:''' Griffon<br />
<br />
'''Leader''': Bernardo dei Medici<br />
<br />
'''Colors:''' Black and Gold<br />

'''Favored Military Profession:''' Cavalry - Lancers and Mounted Archers<br />
<br />
'''Favored Civil Profession:''' Herald and Prefect<br />
<br />
'''Favored School of Magic:''' Healing/White Magic<br />
<br />
'''Description:''' House Medici has roots as an ancient order connected to the religious cult of the Ordo d'Argento. While the colors of the Republic are Black and Silver, the House balances this with the color of Gold. Gold is a controversial color as it once represented the violent sun cults who enslaved the ancestors of the Republic, however, the House sees it as a symbol of hope overcoming the tragedies of the past. The Medici Great House favors soldiers dressed in heavy mail riding on horseback as lancers and civil service to the people through the government. The political philosophy is that of a government that exists to protect the people from other powers. Government simply exists to ensure its people are free. The House views magic with suspicion, but holds priestly healing and divinity in high regard. Many of the House have become Paladinos wielding the favor of divinity that manifests itself in white healing powers that they do not consider magic, but rather inspiration and channeling of their deity.<br />

'''Favored School of Magic:''' Alchemy/Conjuration<br />
<br />
'''Description:''' House Longshire prides itself on its craftsmen and artisans more often providing the financial support rather than the actual labor. For many years the House has been involved directly with the mercantile operations of the Republic in competition with House Medici. House Longshire concerns itself with manufacturing and the whole process of production while House Medici generally engages in commodity trading as an intermediary. A strong strategy in financials also benefits this Great House with more creative sources of income than simple traditional manufacturing. More often than not when a new province is opened to the Republic it will be House Longshire who arrives to establish the economic logistics of the nation and provide the financing of newly licensed companies. The philosophy of this Great House is that free markets reign supreme, but the government must serve as a steward of the economy. A strong economy leads to a strong nation and the foundation for conquest. A nation that neglects its economy will result in ruin.<br />

The house colors are green and white, white to symbol Our Goddess, and the green for the ground of fertile lands which the temple churches reside on. The favored military profession is paladins, holy men dress in golden plate for all to see. Paladins of Requesta hold no fear in their eyes; they carry two-handed swords forged from moon rocks, gifts from our lady. Members of the house McDougal fight in the name of the d'Argento canon, which hold the moral laws and beliefs of all whom follow our lady. The house has a close connection to the values of the Republic and holds them very dear to them, fighting to protect its borders from anyone who would oppose them. <br />

<br />
'''Favored Civil Profession:''' Scholar<br />
<br />
'''Favored School of Magic:''' Black Magic/Destruction<br />
<br />
'''Description:''' Ask anyone on the streets of Soacio about House LaCroix and they will tell you that it is a haven for those who are magically attuned and wish to learn how to use their magical talents. While this is true, House LaCroix has been known to accept mundane individuals into their ranks as guardsmen, spies, animal trainers, and more.<br />
<br />
House LaCroix is the most public entity with possible ties to the secretive '''Mystic Circle''', a fellowship of magically attuned individuals from all walks of life who pursue scholarly research and further mankind’s knowledge of magic. The '''Mystic Circle''' has been accused of summoning demons into the mortal world as well as practicing strange rituals in order to become more skilled in the art of magic, but none of the accusations can be proven due to the highly secretive nature of the '''Mystic Circle''' and the refusal of House LaCroix to discuss it outside of their ranks.<br />
<br />
Although House LaCroix is under constant scrutiny from mundane individuals, most agree that the benefits of allowing House LaCroix to operate in The Republic of the Silver Sun despite their ties to the '''Mystic Circle''' outweigh the negatives of occasional protest by citizens over some plebian claiming their daughter was possessed by a demonic force due to the ritual conducted by House LaCroix and the '''Mystic Circle''' the night prior; none of which can be proven beyond rumor and speculation.<br />
<br />
House LaCroix is very selective about whom they allow into their ranks; simply being magically attuned is not enough to warrant membership. There is no public application or known means of contacting House LaCroix and inquiries into joining the House are often left unanswered. It is generally accepted that if House LaCroix wants you they will approach you when they feel the time is right.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, little else is publicly known about House LaCroix and likely never will be.<br />

<br />
'''Description:''' House Morte had humble beginnings, but has recently risen to power. It's core philosophy is to be defiant and aggressive in the face of an enemy. It's better to make a wrong decision hastily, than to hesitate to think of the right course. Some in the Republic say this train of thought is folly, but House Morte has ridden it to some success. This philosophy was developed on the frontlines where a split second was the difference between life and death. House Morte believes the Republic needs to be strong in all respects and at any cost. Just as the House does not want to plunge back into servitude, they do not want the Republic to fall under the wing of the Empire. <br />

<div>= Overview =<br />
<br />
In order to further the recognition of merit, effort, and contribution to the Republic there will be a Membership Loyalty Program put in place using [[Discord Bot]]s, the [https://www.silversunrepublic.com SSR Website], and the [https://www.militarygamersupply.com Military Gamer Supply website]. <br />
<br />
[[Minister]]s and Officials of the Republic will be able to reward members with points that can be redeemed for various items or discounts on products for sale on the MGS webstore. This is to go beyond a simple 'thank you' and to give material rewards for those who serve the Republic in various ways.<br />
<br />
= Awards =<br />
<br />
Ministers may award Officers, citizens, and allies with Loyalty Points that can be redeemed using a !command on Discord that will purchase various rewards to include discounts, free items, or social ranks/positions within the Republic or MGS webstore. Items available on the MGS webstore include tabletop miniatures, dice sets, SSR themed products such as T-Shirts, Mugs, Mouse Pads, and a whole lot more.<br />
<br />
Each [[Award]] in the Republic will also come with a number of Loyalty Points that will add to an individual's total. Letters and Writs of Service are ways that other citizens can nominate each other for recognition. Approval of these writs and letters are still required by the [[Minister]]s.<br />
<br />
= Conversion Rates =<br />
<br />
Only so many rewards and discounts are available each month and therefore the point values are dynamic. Points will trade almost like a commodity on the stock market leading to the ability for citizens to trade among each other. This creates a sort of premium currency within the Republic that can be earned simply by participating in the community.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/Oath_of_FealtyOath of Fealty2020-01-31T15:27:16Z<p>Brando: Created page with "An Oath of Fealty is an agreement between a Liege Lord and a vassal.

<div>An Oath of Fealty is an agreement between a [[Liege Lord]] and a [[vassal]]. It is a contract between two individuals in which one may represent themselves or a state entity like the Republic or a [[County]] or other organization.<br />
<br />
Fealty is not a one way arrangement and consists of a mutually beneficial relationship. The Liege Lord may provide shelter, clothing, safety, payment, or other guarantees in exchange for a vassals loyalty, labor, skills, and/or military service. It is not a blank check to rule over others, but a contract between two parties.<br />
<br />
The contents of an Oath of Fealty include the conditions, expectations, material and inmaterial requirements, as well as any effective dates or timelines for the arrangement. Oaths of Fealty are custom per arrangement and may be modified as each party requires.<br />
<br />
= Sample Oath of Fealty =<br />
<br />
* (Vassal) - On this day do I swear homage and fealty to my sovereign (lord and/or lady),<br />
to be true in all things, to serve in military service when called upon, to gather the harvest when it is time, to commit every tenth coin earned by my estate, and to take no other oaths with others.<br />
<br />
* (Liege Lord) - On this day do I swear as your Liege Lord to rule justly and fairly,<br />
to provide for your common defense, to repair and replace implements of the harvest, to provide arms when calling the military levvy, to share in largess, and to provide justice when needed.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/Expeditionary_UnitExpeditionary Unit2020-01-31T15:01:47Z<p>Brando: Created page with "During the MMO, Xsyon, the Republic was formed as the 191st Expeditionary Unit, the "Wolverines" partly as a reference to Red Dawn and partly as a way to troll a USSR themed g..."</p>

<div>During the MMO, Xsyon, the Republic was formed as the 191st Expeditionary Unit, the "Wolverines" partly as a reference to Red Dawn and partly as a way to troll a USSR themed guild.

Each City-State may elect its own [[Signoria]] and enact its own laws sometimes with conflicts between communes.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/ArmigersArmigers2020-01-31T09:15:45Z<p>Brando: /* Usage in the Republic */</p>
<hr />
<div>= Definition =<br />
<br />
From Wikipedia: "In heraldry, an armiger is a person entitled to use a heraldic achievement (e.g., bear arms, an "armour-bearer") either by hereditary right, grant, matriculation, or assumption of arms. Such a person is said to be armigerous."<br />
<br />
= Usage in the Republic =<br />
<br />
Armigers in the Republic are generally [[Nobile]], [[Eques]], [[Minister]]s, [[Great House]]s, and individuals deemed worthy as [[Grandi]].<br />
<br />
In order to become recognized as an Armiger, one must be granted this right either directly through a [[Grant of Arms]] or an [[Award of Arms]] which is typically tied to one of the aforementioned positions or as its own reward. The granting or awarding of arms will accompany the awarding of the titles of nobility or position if it is to be so and would be considered an armigerous award. There may be times where a title or position is awarded as non-armigerous.<br />
<br />
== Heraldic Consultations ==<br />
<br />
In order to obtain a heraldic achievement, an armiger will consult with the [[College of Arms]] via a consulting [[Herald]] in order to register their arms. Heralds conduct consultations of arms in accordance with the [[Law of Heraldic Arms]] as published by the [[College of Arms]].<br />
<br />
== Book of Nobility ==<br />
<br />
The [[Libro d'Oro]] lists the nobility of the Republic and includes the direct and immediate hereditary Armigers as well as cadet Armigers who hold titles as offshoots of the main line of inheritance.<br />

<div>= Overview =<br />
<br />
The National System of the Republic consists of a Federated hierarchy of governmental elements. In contrast to a [[Province System]] which consists of partially autonomous regions, a National System utilizes a central government that issues policy and decisions to subordinate entities acting in concert. Provinces are semi-independent and maintain their own cadre of officers to help run the daily operations of government.<br />
<br />
The National System can also be thought of as the Flagship chapter or focus of the Republic while the Provinces are branches. The National System sets overall policy that impacts the Provinces while each Province is able to self-determine localized policies for that specific branch.<br />
<br />
Each Province can act as a microcosm of the larger National System.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/OrderOrder2020-01-31T07:56:24Z<p>Brando: </p>

<div>= Overview =<br />
<br />
Artisan Guilds are state sponsored and maintained crafting companies led by Guild Masters and come in two different categories; Major and Minor. Major Guilds are typically based around the primary material used by the artisans with Minor Guilds representing a specialty such as Shipwrights or Siege Engineers under the main material of wood/carpentry.<br />
<br />
Most often times the Major Guild is the only one employed unless the circumstances call for the establishment of the Minor Guilds.<br />
<br />
Heads of the Guilds are elected as [[Prior]]s and serve in the legislative body known as the [[Priori]] and the greater assembly known as the [[Signoria]].<br />

<div>Priests serve the [[Basilica of Soacio]] under [[Bishop]]s in specific church buildings or parishes that may span several villages in rural settings. A Priest may employ a single [[Clerk]] to help maintain the daily concerns of the congregation in their care.</div>Brandohttp://codex.silversunrepublic.com/index.php/BishopBishop2020-01-31T06:49:40Z<p>Brando: </p>
<hr />
<div>Although the [[Basilica of Soacio|Church of Requesta]] is not considered a formal [[Ministry]], it does exercise its own degree of autonomy and integration into the government of the Republic. Bishops are typically granted seats in the [[Signoria]] via the [[Curia]] as [[Nobile]] Spiritual.<br />
<br />
Subordinate to Bishops are [[Priest]]s in the religious structure of the Silver Sun. Bishops may also employ [[Herald]]s and [[Clerk]]s to help maintain their parishes.</div>Brando
